1806.20.87.00 - Containing less than 21 percent by weight of milk solids 🖩

This HTS category, 1806.20.87.00, specifically covers "Other, low fat chocolate crumb (excluding articles for consumption at retail as candy or confection)" in bulk or large format containers exceeding 2 kg. The defining characteristic of goods classified here is their low milk solid content, specified as less than 21 percent by weight. This classification is intended for ingredients or bulk chocolate preparations that are not intended for direct consumer purchase as finished confectionery items.

The key differentiator from the sibling category, 1806.20.89.00 "Other," lies in the specific definition of "low fat chocolate crumb." While 1806.20.89.00 is a residual category for other preparations in bulk, 1806.20.87.00 targets a precise type of chocolate crumb defined by its reduced milk solids and its primary use as an ingredient rather than a ready-to-eat confection. This distinction is crucial for accurate tariff application.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is final, relying on the precise definition of "low fat chocolate crumb" as per the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Importers must ensure their product meets the less than 21 percent milk solids requirement and is not packaged or marketed for retail confectionery consumption to correctly utilize this classification.
